We know that the odious Tom Watson's puppet on Sandwell Council, former homelessness charity worker Simon "Two Homes" Hackett, has been under investigation in a number of matters recently. The Friar Park Flasher has ducked the bullet - so far - mainly because Leader Steve Eling doesn't have the power to take on Bermondsey Tommy. Now Hackett seemingly feels emboldened to slag off and bad-mouth former SMBC employees with impunity!
Hackett's mother bought her Council flat from SMBC. Nothing wrong there - unlike in other parts of the Borough (in Smethwick it is said that a "monkey" to the right people would secure a Council property during the disastrous Cooper regime and I sincerely hope that the unfortunate primates are being properly cared-for.... "lol").
There are, at last, further investigations ongoing as Leader Steve Eling tries to cut out the deep-rooted cancer of corruption within Jan Britton's bent paid-service and a study of how so many SMBC properties found their way into the ownership of family, friends and associates of certain individuals is proceeding apace - or so I am told.
The crafty "hard-left" comrades, having allegedly flogged off so many council houses to their cronies, then came up with a wizard socialist wheeze - they didn't have enough council houses and so they would buy some back!
There is no suggestion of impropriety at the moment but it just so happens that Hackett's mother decided to try and sell her flat back to the comrades. The application came to the attention of Kerry Bolister who was then a senior Director at SMBC (not that that is anything to brag about on her duly tarnished CV). It is said that she felt that there was nothing untoward with the application but she felt that Hackett should effectively make a declaration of interest. She claimed to have spoken on the telephone with Hackett at least twice and that the matter was included in a "Matter of Urgency" report to the Smethwick Scumbag who was then the ludicrous "Leader".
Curiously Cllr Ian Jones also claims that he became involved in this affair and attended a meeting with Dickhead Darren Cooper and Hackett himself. Jones claims that Cooper - not renowned for his scrupulousness - was concerned that such a deal might "look bad" but Hackett said that unspecified persons had been working on "the deal" for a long time and that he or his mother (it is not clear which) was reluctant to drop out. But, as readers will know, Cllr Ian Jones is a proven liar and so it is difficult to know what, if any, weight can be given to any words that drop from his lips.
Eventually Hackett's mother decided not to proceed but the whole business was investigated following a complaint by a third party. (Curiously, the so-called "investigators" apparently also took a statement from our old friend Nick Bubalo who was directly involved in all the major corrupt transactions featured here so far but who claims never to have noticed anything untoward. What his involvement here is remains a mystery).
Of course, as with the ever-growing catalogue of his misdemeanours, The Sandwell Slasher denied any involvement in any of this and denied speaking to Kerry Bolister and went further to say that her statement to the contrary was actually "a lie". Even the anonymous investigators found his story that he didn't know that his mother had made an application until months later and that he then immediately persuaded her to withdraw it (why, if there was nothing wrong with it?) what might have been described in less enlightened times as "bollocks" and said he knew about it sooner than he claimed.
I duly wrote to la Bolister who has now left SMBC asking her what she thought about a senior Cabinet Member ("lol") accusing her of lying in an official Council investigation but, alas, she has failed to respond. Is she yet another who was forced to sign a confidentiality agreement? Do councillors now feel that if they have bought the silence of employees with thirty pieces of our silver they can libel/slander them with impunity? Or maybe Hackett is right and this experienced local government worker was, for wholly inexplicable reasons, telling massive porkies about him. But she won't say.
There are (mostly) only pathetic, useless, Labour-supporting drones left employed in Britton's bent paid service now but they should watch their backs for their future careers if they are going to be routinely blamed and denigrated without apparent redress.....
Another matter arises. Ian Jones claimed the negotiations for the deal had been going on for some time. We know that Jan Britton apparently does not approve of his staff doing the simple thing in property deals like obtaining properly independent valuations but surely this is what should have happened here? Maybe it did, but an insider informs me that the comrades had agreed a price of £68,000 for the leasehold flat. If this is true, then this appears to constitute a lovely £10,000 "bonus" to Hackett's Ma since, after pulling out of the buy-back, she actually sold the flat for only £58,000. All very mysterious.....
Hackett told investigators that, back in 2014 when all this was going on, he seldom saw his Mother. She applied for the buy-back in July 2014 but he claims he didn't realise what was going-on until October, 2014 when he eventually saw her - even though she lived just down the road. This seems strange since one might have thought the old girl might have mentioned that she needed to look for somewhere else to live and turned to her homelessness expert son who is such a pillock, sorry, pillar of the community.
As it happens, Hackett's mum seemingly pocketed £58k on the sale according to Land Registry documents and, if not immediately, very shortly afterwards moved into, er, her son Cllr Hackett's own second property!!!! As he rarely spoke to her at the time the rent discussions must have been interesting! Perhaps our generous friend has waived rent as I assume £58k cash may have debarred the old girl from claiming housing benefit to line her "socialist" Landlord's pocket (although I am no expert on the benefit system). I did ask "Two Homes" about the arrangement but he has declined to respond.
Hackett found notoriety for, inter alia, pissing in a bus stop. Has he publicly urinated on the fragrant Kerry too?
